I would suggest to not let the conference program committee deal with the BoFs at all, let people schedule BoFs in the Wiki before the conference, and move the schedule to a whiteboard at the venue, when the event starts.
That's another way of dealing with this. What does the CfP committee think?
I think Cornelius' proposal is great. Still I think we should have somebody in the committee feeling responsible and supervising here and there.
ACK - But maybe we should stack the "major" topics together as a starting point. Last oSCon was a bit mixed all inbetween, like education after perl after whatever-other-technology. What do you think?
Not a bad idea. Maybe define kind-of tracks, eg a Packaging room or a desktop room (per day). Or kernel or, I dunno, I'm fairly sure what I'm suggesting now doesn't work very well. Maybe we receive requests and schedule the week before the conf or something like that?
